OUR MISSION

The Next Gen Youth Entrepreneurship Summit is coming back BIGGER and BETTER! Thanks to you, our inaugural Summit was such a success that 100% of students left excited to return for more. This November, we'll be expanding the Summit to 100 selected high school students as part of our mission to empower Genesee County's young leaders. Through a day of connection, collaboration, and inspiration, we'll fan the flames of youth entrepreneurship and support our students' pursuit of success at work and in life.
